Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Evaluasi Kualitatif Penggunaan Antibiotik pada Pasien Pneumonia RS “X’’ Di Malang
Get PDFAbstract—Pneumonia was an inflammation that occurs in the lungs accompanied by exudation and consolidation of microorganisms. In Indonesia, the prevalence of pneumonia continues to increase. Treatment of pneumonia uses antibiotic therapy. The use of antibiotics needs to be controlled by evaluating the quality of antibiotic use to prevent negative effects that can occur on patients, such as antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine the rationality of antibiotic use in pneumonia patients. This study did with an observational method with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in August-September 2019. Qualitative evaluations did with Gyssen method. The results of 35 medical record samples that fulfill the criteria showed that 13,24% of cases category 0; 10,29% of cases category I; 0% of cases category II C; 20,59% of cases in category II B; 2,94% of cases category II A; 0% of cases category III B; 0% of cases category III A; 0% of cases category IV D; 11,76% of cases category IV C; 2,94% of cases category IV B; 38,24% of cases category IV A; 0% of cases category V; 0% of cases category VI. Rational cases (category 0) were 13,24% and irrational cases (categories I-IV) were 86,76%.Keywords: antibiotic, evaluation, gyssen, pneumonia
Abstrak—Pneumonia adalah peradangan yang terjadi pada paru-paru yang disertai dengan adanya eksudasi dan konsolidasi mikroorganisme. Di Indonesia, prevalensi kejadian pneumonia terus mengalami peningkatan. Pengobatan pneumonia menggunakan terapi antibiotik dan terapi suportif. Penggunaan antibiotik perlu dikendalikan dengan evaluasi kualitas penggunaan antibiotik untuk mencegah dampak negatif yang bisa terjadi pada pasien, salah satunya resistensi antibiotik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui rasionalitas penggunaan antibiotik pada pasien pneumonia. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode observasional dengan desain cross-sectional. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus-September 2019. Evaluasi kualitatif dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode gyssen. Hasil evaluasi 35 sampel rekam medis yang memenuhi kriteria menunjukkan bahwa 13,24% kasus kategori 0; 10,29% kasus kategori I; 0% kasus kategori II C; 20,59% kasus kategori II B; 2,94% kasus kategori II A; 0% kasus kategori III B; 0% kategori III A; 0% kasus kategori IV D; 11,76% kasus yang masuk kategori IV C; 2,94% kasus kategori IV B; 38,24% kategori IV A; 0% kategori V; 0% kasus kategori VI. Kasus yang rasional (kategori 0) sebanyak 13,24% dan kasus yang tidak rasional (kategori I-IV) sebanyak 86,76%.Kata kunci: antibiotik, evaluasi, gyssen, pneumoni
A systematic review of potential phytochemical compound bark of Parameria levigata on biofilm formation
Get PDFObjective: Infectious disease is one of the problems in the health sector that continues to grow from time to time. Microorganisms can differentiate and develop in complex ways to form new morphologies that grow on the surface, known as biofilms. Parameria laevigatacontains a variety of secondary metabolites, so that it has potential as an anti-biofilms. The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of the compounds contained in the bark of Parameria laevigata in forming biofilms. Methods: This systematic review research method was Systematic-Meta Analysis, which identifies research articles from journal databases including Microsoft Academic Search, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. Meta-Analysis was used to analyze, determine, and interpret al.l the data in the systematically served articles.Results: Using a specific search prism guideline, the search result for research article found 28 research journals as primary data for systematic review research. The results of this systematic review showed that the bark of Parameria laevigata contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. Alkaloids can interfere with the components of peptidoglycan in bacteria. Flavonoids have able to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Tannins have a role in influencing cell wall polypeptides so that the formation of cell walls becomes less than perfect. Saponins hydrolyze bacterial cell walls. Conclusion: The bark of Parameria laevigata has the potent activity to develop as antimicrobial by inhibiting biofilms formation mechanism
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
